Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 326: Self-Reproach



Chapter 326

"I'm sorry, Li Man," Chen Shi lowered his head, consumed by guilt.

Li Man sighed, not wanting to dwell on who was right or wrong anymore, because the incident had already happened, and Li Ting had gone mad.

"I don't blame you, and you shouldn't blame yourself too much. No one could have anticipated that such a thing would happen," Li Man comforted.

Hearing this, Chen Shi became even more guilty, his eyes welling up with tears.

Seeing Chen Shi like this, Li Man quickly consoled him, "Don't be sad. I'm fine now, aren't I?"

"You're really foolish. Why did you push me away? If you hadn't pushed me away, nothing would have happened," Chen Shi's voice was hoarse as he spoke.

Li Man said, "I didn't have time to think when I saw the dagger coming at me. I instinctively pushed you away."

"Don't be so foolish next time."

Li Man exclaimed in fear, "Is there going to be a next time?"

Seeing Li Man cowering, clearly frightened, Chen Shi quickly assured her, "There won't be a next time. Even if I have to risk my life, I won't let you get hurt again."

Li Man sighed and said, "Forget about it. Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you visited Li Ting?"

Chen Shi shook his head, "Not yet."

"Go see her another day. She's also quite pitiful."

Chen Shi lowered his gaze, "I don't know how to face her."

Li Man pursed her lips and stopped persuading him. A wave of pain passed through her chest, causing her to furrow her brows involuntarily.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt a lot?" Concerned, Chen Shi asked, seeing Li Man's painful expression.

Afraid that Chen Shi would worry, Li Man shook her head, "It's nothing."

"Do you want some water? Here, let me feed you."

Saying that, Chen Shi picked up the glass of water from the bedside table and spooned a bit of water, slowly bringing it to her lips.

"Thank you!"

After drinking a few sips of water, Li Man didn't want any more.

Looking around the hospital room, Li Man asked, "Are you alone here? What about my mom?"

"Auntie just left. She'll come back later. Don't worry."

Seeing Chen Shi looking exhausted, Li Man said, "Go and rest for a while. Don't exhaust yourself."

Chen Shi shook his head, "It's okay. I'll sleep when Auntie comes."

Li Man got angry, "If you don't go to sleep, I'll get mad!"

Rubbing his face vigorously, looking tired, Chen Shi had been unable to eat or sleep while Li Man was unconscious. Now that she was awake, he felt relieved and said, "Then I'll take a nap on the small bed next to you. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, go to sleep quickly."

Li Man had a urinary catheter, so she wasn't worried about going to the bathroom.

Chen Shi walked over to the small bed and lay down. Soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Li Man lay on the hospital bed and, for some reason, thought of Huo Jian Sheng.

The last time she was beaten and ended up in the hospital, it was Huo Jian Sheng who took care of her.

She wondered what he was doing now.

Just as she was thinking about it, the door suddenly opened, and Huo Jian Sheng walked in, covered in dust.

Seeing Huo Jian Sheng, Li Man was stunned. She couldn't believe her eyes.

She widened her eyes and asked in astonishment, "Huo Jian Sheng, how did you come here?"

Huo Jian Sheng walked forward, his concern evident in his eyes. "Are you awake?"

"Yeah, just woke up. How did you come here? Who told you?"

"It was your mom who told me."

He called Li Man, and it was Zhang Yan who answered the call.

Upon learning that Li Man was injured and hospitalized, he immediately flew over.
